Despite the Big 12's reputation, Baker Mayfield faced stiffer competition than either Sam Darnold or Josh Rosen last year. The adjusted defensive QBR of Mayfield's opponents, weighted by his number of action plays against them, was 44.8 last season. By the same method, Darnold's and Rosen's opponents' defensive QBR were 47.4 and 50.9, respectively. The lower the defensive QBR, the better the defense is at stopping opposing quarterbacks.

He threw his second interception to William Poole on a poor pass into double coverage late in the third quarter, and he might have had three picks if Richard LeCounte hadn't dropped the ball in the first half.

With Tua Tagovailoa sidelined, Jalen Hurts didn't do himself any favors in the quarterback competition, completing 19-37 passes for 195 yards, no touchdowns and one interception. Said Nick Saban: "I was not disappointed in the way Jalen played. I think we have some guys that can rush a little bit ... there was way too much pressure on the pocket for the quarterback to operate like we like."
